Consumer Protection - The Unfair Trade Practices Act And The Insurance Code: Does Per Se Necessarily Preempt? - Pearce V. American Defender Life Insurance Co., Cindy C. Heenan Jan 1988

Consumer Protection - The Unfair Trade Practices Act And The Insurance Code: Does Per Se Necessarily Preempt? - Pearce V. American Defender Life Insurance Co., Cindy C. Heenan

Campbell Law Review

This Note will address two main issues. The first issue is whether a violation of the Insurance Code regulatory section entitled "Unfair Trade Practices" should be a per se unfair trade practice under the UTPA. The second is whether the Insurance Code preempts the UTPA in defining unfair insurance practices.

Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel Jan 1988

Securities Law Fifth Circuit Symposium, Steve Thel

Faculty Scholarship

The Fifth Circuit decided some important securities cases during the survey period and issued some interesting opinions. Although the court consistently claimed a conservative reliance on precedent and seldom acknowledged making new law, it interpreted some well-established doctrine in surprising ways. The past year's opinions in fraud cases provide guidance in the related areas of reliance, damages, and plaintiff's due diligence. The year also witnessed important developments in the law governing the relationship between brokerage firms and their clients. The most spectacular development in this area during the survey year was the October collapse in security prices. In light of …

Automatic Consumer Protection Recovery Act For Lack Of Informed Consent: Quimby V. Fine, Dr. Carroll Rusk, Jr. Jan 1988

Automatic Consumer Protection Recovery Act For Lack Of Informed Consent: Quimby V. Fine, Dr. Carroll Rusk, Jr.

Seattle University Law Review

This Note will demonstrate the need to refine the entrepreneurial aspects test as it applies to medical professionals and suggest a rationale for identifying those lack-of-informed-consent actions to which the Consumer Protection Act rightfully applies. Specifically, this Note seeks to: 1) demonstrate that satisfaction of the statutory elements of a lack-of-informed-consent claim necessarily satisfies the five prongs of the Hangman private dispute test; 2) show that the additional requirement that the lack of informed consent "relate to the entrepreneurial aspects of the medical practice" has not been definitively interpreted, and that it may be unintelligible in context; 3) identify the …


Do The Doj Vertical Restraints Guidelines Provide Guidance?, Alan A. Fisher Ph.D., Frederick I. Johnson, Robert H. Lande Oct 1987

Do The Doj Vertical Restraints Guidelines Provide Guidance?, Alan A. Fisher Ph.D., Frederick I. Johnson, Robert H. Lande

All Faculty Scholarship

Vertical restraints come in a glittering menu of exceptional variety, including resale price maintenance (RPM), tying, exclusive dealing, requirements contracts, "best efforts" clauses, full-line forcing, airtight and nonairtight exclusive territories, customer restrictions, areas of primary responsibility, profit-passover provisions, restrictions on locations of outlets, and dual distribution. Firms sometimes combine vertical restraints into packages. The great variety of individual and combined vertical restraints complicates the discovery of market effects. Indeed, identifying what restraint(s) a given firm is using at any particular time can be difficult.

New Consumer Protection Private Action Test: Clarification Or Further Confusion?—Hangman Ridge Training Stables V. Safeco Title Insurance Co., 105 Wn. 2d 778, 719 P.2d 531 (1986), Susan Clyatt Lybeck

Washington Law Review

In Hangman Ridge Training Stables v. Safeco Title Insurance Co., the Washington Supreme Court established a new test for plaintiffs to meet in pursuing a private right of action under Washington's Consumer Protection Act (CPA). The court set forth a substantially revised method for establishing public interest impact for private CPA actions. In addition, the court abolished its earlier distinction between per se and de facto CPA violations. All private plaintiffs must now meet the same test. This Note examines the legal background for private CPA actions prior to Hangman Ridge. The Note observes that the Hangman Ridge test is …

Romandette V. Weetabix Co., Inc., 807 F. 2d 309 - Court Of Appeals, 2nd Circuit 1986, Roger J. Miner '56 Dec 1986

Romandette V. Weetabix Co., Inc., 807 F. 2d 309 - Court Of Appeals, 2nd Circuit 1986, Roger J. Miner '56

Circuit Court Opinions

Anthony Romandette appeals pro se from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Brieant, J.) dismissing his diversity action for failure to effect service of the summons and complaint, Fed.R.Civ.P. 4, and for neglect to prosecute, Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). At the time the lawsuit was instituted — December 3, 1984 — and throughout most of the litigation, Romandette was incarcerated. Due to his incarceration, he was dependent upon prison library facilities to research his legal claims and, because of his in forma pauperis status, dependent upon United States Marshals to effectuate service of …
